Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is not holding back.

Earlier this week, the former congresswoman said the problem with American politics is that “we’re electing idiots,” according to The Hill.

“Look, I think that the country right now faces hugely challenging and fundamentally important issues,” Cheney said at an event with the cultural and community center, 92nd Street Y, New York. “What we’ve done in our politics is create a situation where we’re electing idiots.” (RELATED: Liz Cheney Fires Off Most Pathetic Attack Against GOP Yet By Endorsing Pelosi)

Cheney, a major rival of former President Trump’s, played coy in response to a question about whether she would run for president if polling showed that it would hurt Trump’s third White House run. The former congresswoman has repeatedly said she would do anything within her power to prevent Trump from being elected president.

“I don’t look at it through the lens of, you know, is this what I should do or what I shouldn’t do,” the former congresswoman said. “I look at it through the lens of how do we elect serious people. And I think electing serious people can’t be partisan.” (RELATED: Liz Cheney Predicts Rise of ‘New Conservative Party’)

“Because of the situation that we’re in, where we have a major-party candidate who’s trying to unravel our democracy — and I don’t say that lightly — we have to think about, all right, what kinds of alliances are necessary to defeat him, and those are the alliances we’ve got to build across party lines,” she added.

“I really believe, and I’ve never believed something as strongly as I know this, that the single most important thing for the country is that Donald Trump can’t be anywhere near the Oval Office again,” she said.

Cheney ultimately lost her primary last year to Trump-backed Republican candidate Harriet Hageman.

    Hate communism

    She should hang her head in shame for what she did to the Trump supporters. She edited videos of Jan 6. She lied! She was not relected. The talk she gave was about democrats. She backs destroying America’s rights and freedom because her father told her to. Bush and her father they have taught her to be unamerican elite who’s hate freedom for all. She destroyed so many lives with her lies. She stands there acting like she did nothing wrong. She deserves gitmo for her crimes just like her father deserve ! People handed her a job when she is not qualified for! Colleges have become the dumping grounds of the unamerican democrat’s disgusting traitorous party!

    Yes sometimes we elect idiots..and as in your case sometimes we wake up and kick them to the curve.

    With Joe Biden in the White House and millions of Americans planning to vote for him a second time it’s hard not to agree with her that the system is rigged to elect idiots. Liz seems to overlook the fact that the biggest idiots are Democrats and RINOS like her.

    JoeyP

    What did you EXPECT from a LOSER like THAT RINO?!? . . . Just ASKIN.

    pat

    does anyone really care what this woman has to say.

    joe1cr

    Liz should know as she & her democrat socialist friends on capitol hill are some of the biggest Idiots in D.C. and being led by the old moron in the White House.

    wayne capurro

    Harriet Hageman is doing an excellent job in DC…..much better than her predecessor. I used to think Liz Cheney was a serious person but I no longer do.

    Jawad

    This goofy Queen has a face that has never known joy. This is a key to her problem.

    Brontefan47

    Liz has a case of sour grapes. Basically, she failed to back the best President we’ve had in my lifetime & I’m a Baby Boomer! So now she sees the flaws in our system?? Really? Unfortunately, what is wrong with the GOP is too many RINOs in our midst. Liz happens to be one!
